| Popis: | Wind turbines are complicated systems with different aerodynamic and electromechanical aspects. An integrated platform which includes design, simulation, and experimental evaluation of wind energy conversion systems is very helpful to design, develop, and examine the performance of different wind turbine sub-systems. The previous studies exclude such a platform and this study tries to fill this gap. In this study, the blades of a 5.5 kW fixed-speed stall-regulated wind turbine are initially designed then employed in simulation and emulation. The same as the simulation setup, the utilised emulator uses AeroDyn and FAST software tools to model the aerodynamic and mechanical aspects of the turbine in a laboratory environment. The emulator is capable of reproducing the static and dynamic behaviour of the turbine in a laboratory similar to the real turbines. For simulation, the electrical parts are implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, whereas the real electrical parts are used for the emulator. The performance of the turbine with the designed blades is investigated in simulation and emulation considering a simple hub-height and turbulent wind profile, generated by TurbSim software tool based on the IEC standards. Moreover, the start-up process of the wind turbine is evaluated using the wind turbine emulator and the results are discussed. |
